Reddish-Blue

Maybe we'll see Kenedy or Traore get a 10 minute cameo appearance

FFP only makes sense if your getting a net profit. In the case of Schurrle, we wasted all that transfer money on Cuadrado who looked out of his depth in the EPL (I do agree about the rest of the transfers but not Schurrle)

Are you talking about Hazard or Pedro? Hazard is 24, not 28

Bournemouth already have Christian Atsu on loan from Chelsea. Premier league rules --> only one player can be loaned between two clubs

He's better off going back to the Championship or moving abroad as most PL teams look for strikers with strength & pace (Bamford isn't known for either of those attributes)

He's obviously had a slow start to the season but it doesn't help when the rest of the attack can't finish those 50-50 chances (e.g. Oscar, Pedro) Ozil finds room to play those passes because he's got Sanchez, Walcott, Ramsey running off the ball (I wish we would attack more like a team, rather than leave Costa alone and hope Hazard/Fabregas do something with the ball)

At least Aguero managed to score a hattrick against a quality team like Bayern....Costa has been almost non-existent in the Champions league with Chelsea

To be fair, Luke Shaw had already played 60 League games for Southampton by the age of 19, which definitely helped 'accelerate' his development Your point about RLC being a decent young player just raises the same question from the transfer window, why didn't we sign a quality CM?

He's like Schurrle...can play LW/RW, based on skill set, could probably fill in as a striker when needed (still remember that 0-0 draw with United when Mourinho used Schurrle as the 'striker')

City would be better off targeting Pogba. Matic wouldn't be able to replace Yaya's qualities

There is nothing to debate. You go to ANY football forum and there will always be a handful of posters happy to see an out of form player sit out a week or two No one wants to see a player get injured...but if it means another player gets a chance to prove themselves, I see no harm done

why not just ignore the posts you don't like? Geez, people create problems on this forum for no reason

Not much else you can do when the player is clearly on the decline (he has been abused in all of our games from the opposition LW) and the manager keeps on selecting him ahead of a promising youngster

Well said (bolded part) Some people think not supporting Mourinho is idiotic, others think he's the greatest manager ever and he can do no wrong, and the ones who believe Mourinho is here for the long term are in denial He's a good manager, but his volatile, us vs the world mentality only works in the short term

I would love to see PSG in the UCL with Mourinho as manager

Do you have last season's defensive chart? I would love to see a comparison

Young players, crowd support similar to Dortmund, wants to experience the English game

Yeh because it's a crime to want to play with attacking freedom. I'm guessing you don't watch many games outside of Chelsea..

Interesting rumor..

To be realistic, I had to 'fix' your lineup

This is something more than a rough period, it's more like the start of a downward trend I just wish Mourinho would hold every player accountable for their poor performances this season...rather than having double standards and playing favourites with Ivanovic/Fabregas. I'll be surprised if Mourinho is the manager next season as let's be honest, he wasn't brought here for 'stability', because Mourinho and stability are like antonyms

He's failed in every position since leaving Russia's national team in 2010..

It's a conundrum, you can sack the manager and hope for a change in results..or you can stick with the manager and end up like Arsenal/Liverpool, the consistent underachievers

I don't see the point in giving him the rest of the season...the players seem to be getting worse game after game I really thought the Arsenal result would kick start our season, but we haven't won any games since then...and looking at our upcoming fixtures, I'm kind of worried
